... Anyway, how I believe this relates to the startup taking forever is that steam is always searching the entire drive for its files (since it is doing an inode-based lookup). So, I think that what we need is a cache of files where NtQueryInformationFile has returned an inode value so that calls to NtCreateFile with FILE_OPEN_BY_FILE_ID can search the "recently returned inode list" before it looks through the entire drive.
I'm not entirely sure this is why Steam takes so long to load, but I do have a thought about fixing this particular problem... It should be possible to accelerate the search by using /proc/<wine pid>/fd/* to get a head start on finding out which file corresponds to the inode. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
